Dear Baby #3,
Today was our almost 14 week appointment with the "high risk" doctor, Dr. Ramos. We had to visit him since I am 36 years old and considered "advanced maternal age". The fun part about the whole thing is that we get an extra chance to see you. We had our second ultrasound today. Daddy, Delaney (big sis #1) and Caleigh (big sis #2) all came with me. Dr. Ramos said that so far you look perfect. Your heart beat was a health 155bpm. We will keep praying that you are a healthy baby. I know that you will be very loved.
With both of your sisters, I had amazing pregnancies (except for some sciatic nerve pain with D and a tailbone issue with C). So far with you, I am doing well. I have a little bit of "hypo" thyroid... so Dr. Ramos recommended a low dose of a hormone replacement for it. I've never had a thyroid issue, so I hope it is just pregnancy related and will go away.
Like with your sisters, I am still continuing to do my morning workouts. I am running about 20 miles per week currently, biking for about 1 hour per week, swimming for 1.5 hours and lifting 1-2 times a week for about 45 minutes. I teach a morning Circuit Training class at the gym and I teach two Boot Camps for Get Moving! Boot Camp. I have been teaching for the past 11 years.
I was really excited to see you today. I am looking forward to having another infant around to hold and love.
Love,
Mommy
